Re: [IP] Insets

Buster
A few thoughts.
Do you remember to remove the blue needle guard before inserting, I left it on
a couple
of times & insertion seemed to work but sugars were sky high.
When inserting make sure the inserter is flat on the skin & not at an angle.
After
insertion press down on the center portion for a count of 5 to 10.
When you remove the inserter, hold down the outer transparent section & pull up
the
middle white twirly bit to release the canula then pull both bits straight up.
You must be
sure you pull it straight up or vertically to remove.
I agree that it is a nuisance that there is no window in the Insets. Have you
tried the
Inset30s which is basically a Comfort with an automatic inserter, it has a
window.
Hope this helps.
